Recession occurs, which group is the first to go?
Comment if I didn't list your choice. I'm leaning towards the young and overpaid Young means new to the company (ie new grads and thus "young")
Expensive ones irrespective of age.
True, I’ve seen this a lot.
Meeting organizers.
Remote deadwood recruiters with >5 years tenure
The young and overpaid will be assumed to be hungry to keep their jobs and will be given even more responsibility. I'm defining young as newer to the company. In 2008, middle managers were fired, recruiters were fired, marketers were fired, experimental teams were fired... More than I can list were fired as companies looked for people that would do more work for less pay.
This is such a dumb poll lmao... determining if someone is overpaid is the most subjective thing ever. You might as well ask if good workers are fired first or bad workers
Overpaid = paid high for your level's payband, irrespective of high vs. low performing. That's how it worked in 2007.
Engineers actually produce value. Managers, PMs, recruiters, marketing are getting cut before engineers
Old & all overpaid
Lifers tend to go. Company loyalty is hardly ever rewarded
This survey is poorly worded.
Old ppl
